My wife and I have a '00 Beetle TDI which sports a similar 1.9L engine as the Jetta. If you do get one, I would suggest one which is at least a few years old. VW did some changes to the TDI in the past few years and the mileage dropped in them as well as requiring a special 505.01 VW spec oil which is a PITA to find. The EGR problem can be solved no problem as VW's have a very very nice computer control system that can be logged into and values changed which essentially shuts off the EGR. The tool used to log in is called a VAG-COM. The 1.9 is an awesome engine with great economy (we average around 50mpg) and I strongly recommend one, but if you an find a nice one that is a few years old. Also get the manual tranny as VW also makes a heck of a tranny. We fully expect at least 300,000 out of our car without any major breakages.
